The Call of the Wild and White Fang
Two great American classics by Jack London in one volume
The Call of the Wild (1903)and White Fang (1906) are two classic American adventure novels depicting the evolution of two dogs in the wild. The novels are in fact mirror images of one another, as Call of the Wild depicts Buck's journey from domestic to wild dog, while White Fang recounts White Fang's transformation from wild beast to domestic companion. Both convey powerful themes of redemption and survival that continue to affect readers even today.
This elegantly designed clothbound edition features an elastic closure and a new introduction.

Az egyszerű vadon 1: The Simple Wild
A sors ismétli önmagát?
Calla Fletcher kétéves volt, amikor az édesanyja vele együtt elmenekült az alaszkai vadon és az elszigetelt vidéki életmód kihívásai elől, és elhagyta Calla apját, Wren Fletchert. Calla sosem nézett vissza, és huszonhat évesen a mozgalmas torontói életen kívül nem ismer mást. Amikor azonban az apja felveszi vele a kapcsolatot, és tudatja, hogy súlyos beteg, a lány tudja, hogy ideje megtennie a hosszú utat a határmenti elhagyatott kisvárosba, ahol született.
Calla szembenéz a mászkáló vadakkal, a különös nappali órákkal, az elképesztő bolti árakkal, és időnként még – szent ég! – a kinti pottyantós vécével is, cserébe, hogy megismerhesse az apját: a férfit, akivel a rengeteg hibája ellenére is újra törődni kezd.
Ám miközben nagy küzdelmek árán igyekszik hozzászokni a sarkközeli éghajlathoz és az otthonitól teljesen eltérő életritmushoz, Jonah – egy csendes, cinikus és büszke alaszkai pilóta, aki Calla apjának repülős vállalatát, a Vadont működteti – alig várja az elkényeztetett városi lány bukását. Meggyőződése ugyanis, hogy Calla túlságosan kényes ahhoz, hogy megbirkózzon a vadonnal.
Jonahnak feltehetőleg igaza van, de Calla eltökéli, hogy bebizonyítja a tévedését. Aztán váratlanul azon kapja magát, hogy elmélyül a kapcsolata a robosztus pilótával. Ahogy a férfi rejtett megvetése egyre halványul, barátság veszi át a helyét – vagy talán valami mélyebb is? De Calla nem azért jött Alaszkába, hogy maradjon, Jonah pedig sosem fogja otthagyni a helyet, ami az élete. Ostobaság lenne mindkettejük részéről románcba kezdeni, és ugyanarra az útra lépni, amivel Calla szülei is megpróbálkoztak – és kudarcot vallottak – évekkel korábban.
Egy egyszerű igazság, amiről kiderül, hogy nem is olyan egyszerű.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Charlie is a freshman. And while he's not the biggest geek in the school, he is by no means popular. Shy, introspective, intelligent beyond his years yet socially awkward, he is a wallflower, caught between trying to live his life and trying to run from it. Charlie is attempting to navigate his way through uncharted territory: the world of first dates and mixed tapes, family dramas and new friends; the world of sex, drugs, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, when all one requires is that perfect song on that perfect drive to feel infinite. But Charlie can't stay on the sideline forever. Standing on the fringes of life offers a unique perspective. But there comes a time to see what it looks like from the dance floor. The Perks of Being a Wallflower is a deeply affecting coming-of-age story that will spirit you back to those wild and poignant roller-coaster days known as growing up.
Call Of The Wild
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Deep in the forest a call was sounding, and ...he felt compelled to turn his back upon the fire, and to plunge into the forest.' Half St. Bernard, half sheepdog, Buck is stolen away from his comfortable life as a pet in California and sold to dog traders. He soon finds himself aboard a ship, on its way to Northern Canada. Surrounded by cruelty, Buck's natural instincts and behaviour begin to emerge as he works as a mail carrying sled dog, scavenging for food, protecting himself against other dogs and sleeping out in the cold snow. Sold to a group of American gold hunters who are inexperienced living in the wilderness, the dogs are treated badly and as misfortune besets them, Buck is saved by John Thornton. Indebted to his new master, Buck remains by Thornton's side, saving him from drowning and protecting him with fierce loyalty throughout their time together. However, Buck can not deny the strong lure of the wilderness around him. Exciting and action-packed, Call of the Wild explores the timeless relationship between man and dog, and the inevitable draw of primitive instincts that pull Buck away from civilization and humanity towards the lawless and harsh wilderness.

River Wild
Nové město. Nová identita. Těhotná a bez pomoci.
Na útěku před minulostí, která mě nikdy nesmí znovu najít.
River Wild.
Náladový. Nevypočitatelný. Zmetek.
Tak to je můj nový soused.
O přátelství s Riverem nemám sebemenší zájem. Stejně tak on o mě nezavadí pohledem.
Jednoho dne mi ale pomůže zachránit opuštěného psa. Ten den jsem v jeho očích spatřila cosi, co moc dobře znám. Smutek. Bolest. Osamělost.
Tyhle věci jsou pro mě denním chlebem.
I když ani jeden z nás o přátelství nestojí, osud nás přivede k sobě. A potom, jako blesk z čistého nebe, už z nás nejsou jenom přátelé, ale něco víc.
River a já máme každý svoje tajemství. Kostlivce ve skříni. Ale to nám nestojí v cestě. On rozumí mně. A já rozumím jemu.
Poprvé v životě zažívám něco, o čem jsem dosud slyšela jenom v pohádkách – štěstí.
Jenomže žádné štěstí netrvá navěky. Ne pro lidi, jako jsem já.
Moje minulost je mi v patách, slídí, čeká a připravuje se na ten správný okamžik, aby mi to všechno vyrvala z náručí.

The Call of Cthulhu
"The Call of Cthulhu" is one of H. P. Lovecraft's best-known short stories. Written in the summer of 1926, it was first published in Weird Tales, February 1928. It is the only story written by Lovecraft in which the extraterrestrial entity Cthulhu himself makes a major appearance.It is written in a documentary style, with three independent narratives linked together by the device of a narrator discovering notes left by a deceased relative. The narrator pieces together the whole truth and disturbing significance of the information he possesses, illustrating the story's first line: "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity; and it was not meant that we should voyage far."

The Call of the Tribe
In The Call of the Tribe, Mario Vargas Llosa surveys the readings that have shaped the way he thinks and has viewed the world over the past fifty years. The Nobel Laureate maps out the liberal thinkers who helped him develop a new body of ideas after the great ideological traumas of his disenchantment with the Cuban Revolution and departure from the ideas of Jean-Paul Sartre, the author who most inspired Vargas Llosa in his youth.
Writers like Adam Smith, Friedrich A. Hayek, Karl Popper and Isaiah Berlin helped the author navigate through these uneasy years of intellectual formation. They showed him another school of thought that placed the individual before the tribe, nation, class or party, and defended freedom of expression as a fundamental value for the exercise of democracy. The Call of the Tribe documents Vargas Llosa's engagement with their work and charts the evolution of his personal and philosophical ideology.
Mario Vargas Llosa is one of the world's greatest living novelists, but, as Clive James wrote in Cultural Amnesia, his 'true strength' is 'undoubtedly in the essay'.
Pucking Wild
The hockey star she never expected may be the one person to finally set her free . . .
My name is Tess Owens and my soon to be ex-husband is trying to set fire to my entire life. Unwilling to face the heat, I do what I do best: run. I run to a new life in a new city and straight into the arms of Rachel and her team of NHL hockey players.
They're all charming, but one player stands apart from the rest, the star forward of the Jacksonville Rays, Ryan Langley. Now I have six weeks to launch a new business. Six weeks to fight for my freedom...all while fighting my growing attraction to this All-American sweetheart with a winning smile and a career on the rise.
Did I mention he's ten years younger than me? Ryan doesn't need my drama. And we have nothing in common. But it's getting harder to deny the way he makes me feel.
Fun. Free. Wild.

The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.
